Be honest - you didn't expect The Last of Us would be THAT successful

I know I didn't. 95% metacritic & 3.4 million units shipped in the first 3 weeks. I never thought it would get Uncharted-type numbers.

TFOU launched when there wasn't anything else to buy so, umm, just sayin. :P

It deserves it.
fantastic game.

I did, to be honest. It's a predictable movie, trying to be a game - those almost always sell/review well.Consternated

It's a game of the year for me so far. That might possibly change in the next few days though.

I definitely expected it to do that well. The amount of hype surrounding it and the fact it was ND's good team making it I had no doubts. 

I didn't expect it to get an 8.0freedomfreak

I also think GTA V has a very good chance of winning game of the year.

Lol those 3.4Million numbers is same that WiiU sold in first 3months :P

Wrong, its success was predictable, cinematic third person shooter + Naughty Dog + hype = sales, not to mention that its formula was safe as f*ck. I mean, i knew it was gonna sell well the moment it was announced.

But, i really didn't expect it to flop on Gamespot. Now that was a surprise. Lol flop.

the game was unsuccessful. it flopped. failed. what a disaster. people who bought it are still crying themselves to sleep even today.

Knew it from the first trailer / announcement.

Commercially, perhaps. But I fully expected it to do as well as it did critically.

I expected it to get the same overreaction as Uncharted 2 did and it did. So no I did expect it. :p

Not to get me wrong - great games, both of them, just overrated relatively speaking.

As mentioned above, it was an interactive movie. No, scratch that, it was a movie, with some smattering of interactive bits.

It's the kind of game the mainstream love, so yes, it's going to review well and do decent sales.

I prefer games that, you know, are 90% or better GAMEPLAY, rather than the other way around.  The narrative was excellent though, and the level design complemented the storytelling VERY well. I think it deserves an 7-8. If the gameplay would have been a bit better, and influenced the narrative even just a little bit, and was more than just shooting guys and solving water puzzles, it could have deserved a 10.

Fixed. Also, yeah. That was a horrible mistake. What was Microsoft thinking? Like how Sony launched Puppeteer a week before GTAV. :?

Uncharted 2 and 3 passed 6 million sales. I dont see TLoU doing that, it will probably max at 5 million tops.

Game of the year.

It didn't sell 34 million copies. It sold 3.4 million copies. :lol:

That's not bad for a new IP. It was hyped so much, I did expect it to sell at least a couple million units. With almost 79 million PS3's out there, it should have easily sold a lot more. Lifetime should be over 5 million.

Be honest, you didn't expect it to flop either.rjdofu

No Cow on here expected that. They thought it would get a 9.5 or 10 I'm sure. I still don't understand how MGS IV and GTA IV got 10's. They definitely weren't 10 games.

[QUOTE="SecretPolice"]

[QUOTE="PS4TrumpsXbox1"] Maybe not in the month of June but there were a lot of good games in the previous month of May. There not being any games as you say is a cheap reason to say TLOU did so well IMO May: Persona 4 Dust 514 Metro Last Light Resident Evil Revelations Fuse Grid 2 June: Remember Me Tekken Revolution DeadpoolDrRockso87

for all those mad about this game, go play it. it's probably the best exclusive game on consoles.

Actually I did expect it to be so successful.  It was the gaming equivalent of Oscar Bait.

I did. When Naughty Gods are involved, legends are born. Heil68

Where did he say it sold 34 million you blithering idiot?

I did,considering the hype and the fact the game looked like it was gonna be amazing.It's my game of the year but that could change with GTA

When has using metacritic been against SW rules except in determining flops? You have no clue what you're talking about, do you?

Oh, I don't know, for 4-5 years now?
